Perfect Vacation!

After having stayed at Plunge Beach Resort on four different vacations, I will continue to be a steady guest in the future. Everything was absolutely wonderful... the grounds, the rooms, the service... and most importantly, THE STAFF!

Spring Break Fun

Really enjoyed the property and the proximity of it to the beach, literally a minute away from the sand… It has a very funky, modern vibe which was awesome… overall a great stay and I'd definitely return back again!

Staycation with friends

Our bungalows were clean, sanitized and perfect for the staycation we were hoping for! We were able to watch the sunrise and see the baby turtles head out to sea. I will never forget that!
